It’s true that “kids” are often very good with technology and can sneak around parental controls, but we’re talking about YOUNG children here. My kid knows my phone password because I deliberately taught him, but he’s not going to start hacking anything until he learns to read.

This is less of a matter of kids…

Believe it or not, youtube actually has some content that is better/more enjoyable/better age targeted than Disney Junior. PBS kids is a far better recommendation, and it’s free too - but with a far, far more limited amount of content. 

Let me guess - Roy remembers when “women were sacred.”

Give me a fucking white list, Youtube.

I’m guessing they were looking at some of her past photos when she had super short hair and wanted to replicate them because she has one of the most beautiful skulls on the planet (not joking at all), but they REALLY should have known this was hugely problematic and asked her first!

Soooo they’ve never seen a spy movie.... ever?

Truly unfortunate. At my kid’s preschool, if a kid had a severe allergy they didn’t even allow any allergen foods in that classroom, even from other kids. My son’s room was egg and nut free, which was not easy to follow but better safe than sorry.

Simple really. All those people we kill were Bad Guys. The babies and little children that died? Bad Guys in training.

One factor a lot of people don’t know is that you can become a felon for shockingly small things. Setting aside the total mess that is the war on drugs, in Virginia any theft over $200 is a felony. A dumb kid could steal a classmate’s iphone and end up being unable to vote for the rest of their life. That’s INSANE.

I know I’m kind of in a bubble, but in all the political podcasts I listen to, it’s the black women who have me jumping up and cheering. They need a bigger soapbox because they get things DONE.

Did I sound very angry? It’s a known fact that the current NRA focuses a great deal of their influence on dismantling or preventing registries involving guns. Some of those I agree with - registries that rely on violating HIPAA or guilty-until-proven-innocent fly lists are obviously problematic. Some of them I don’t…

Uggghhh, conservatives are going to make hay out of this basically FOREVER.

Welllll, technically, I’m putting this on the NRA and friends, because they’re the ones who have fought so vociferously against more efficient, more universal registry systems that would prevent exactly this sort of “accident.”

That sounds absolutely LOVELY. Sadly our dining room is too small to loose even a few feet. It’s too bad, because I love that idea!

Good for A.V. Club! Press solidarity is one of the best ways to encourage freedom of the press.

Don’t get me started on dining rooms. I hate dining rooms. We actually have a formal dining room with a big formal dining set inherited from family. How often do we use it? LITERALLY NEVER. Even when we have guests over, we always eat on the kitchen table. I hate that I have a room in my house that does nothing…

Sorry, I should have said: in winter most of our heat was through the fireplace. Decidedly old fashioned. Modern technology means we can be far more efficient and have zones and don’t need everything near the main fireplace!

Fun fact! Black Madonnas were actually popular for a long time because the fair wood turning dark was considered a miracle. If you had a wooden Madonna that turned black, it was fantastic for pilgrimage (tourist) money. The realities of the world being what they are, I’m willing to bet many a Madonna statue was…

Every time I watch one of those shows, I wonder when the backlash will start and they’ll all be about throwing up new walls. People certainly used to have the tech to build “open-concept” buildings - wanting separate spaces was probably both a luxury and surely more energy efficient in some cases.

That being said, I…

I habitually tuck my feet up under my bum when I sit because I have always been short, and having your feet dangle off the edge of an chair HURTS. Maybe she has a similar issue?
